Benefits of technology
The patent describes a method and system for enhancing the awareness of a pilot during a ground maneuver by filtering traffic based on certain criteria to identify important traffic, and displaying it on a cockpit display along with the host aircraft. The system includes a processor that receives host aircraft data and traffic data, filters the traffic based on preset criteria, generates symbology for both the host aircraft and the important traffic, and displays it on an airmap display system. This technology can improve the pilot's ability to see and react to important traffic situations, ultimately increasing safety during ground maneuvers.
Problems solved by technology

A flight deck display system and method comprises a first source of host aircraft feature data and a second source of traffic data. A processor is coupled to the first and second sources and is configured to (a) receive host aircraft data; (2) receive traffic data; (3) filter traffic based on a predetermined set of separation criteria to identify vital traffic; (4) generate symbology graphically representative of vital traffic; (5) generate symbology graphically representative of the host aircraft; and (6) display the host aircraft and the vital traffic on an AMM display.
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]Embodiments of the subject matter described herein relate generally to avionics systems such as flight display systems and, more particularly, to a flight deck display system and method for generating a dynamic synthetic display of a three-dimensional (3D) airport moving map (AMM).BACKGROUND[0002]Modern flight deck displays for vehicles (such as aircraft or spacecraft) display a considerable amount of information, such as vehicle position, speed, altitude, navigation, target, and terrain information. Two-dimensional and three-dimensional AMM displays provide synthetic views of an airport environment that enhances flight crew position and situational awareness during both taxi operations and final approach. However, known techniques for displaying traffic symbology on 3D AMM displays suffer certain drawbacks. For example, displaying traffic symbology on a 3D AMM display clutters the displayed image. The degree of clutter and the complexity thereof depend on the a...
